Technical interpretation of inhibitor to coagulation factor XI testing
This test is not useful for the detection of a lupus-like circulating anticoagulant inhibitor, a nonspecific circulating anticoagulant, or other inhibitors that are not specific for coagulation factors.

Technical interpretation of inhibitor to coagulation factor XI testing
This test is not useful for the detection of a lupus-like circulating anticoagulant inhibitor, a nonspecific circulating anticoagulant, or other inhibitors that are not specific for coagulation factors.
Factor XI inhibitors typically arise in patients with congenital XI deficiency (hemophilia C) or after infusion of fresh frozen plasma or factor XI concentrates. Acquired factor XI inhibitors rarely occur spontaneously.
Only orderable as part of a profile. For more information see 11INE / Factor XI Inhibitor Evaluation, Plasma
An interpretive report will be provided.
When testing is complete, if factor activity results fall within clinically normal ranges, an interpretive comment will be provided noting that inhibitor testing was not indicated and, therefore, not performed. If factor activity indicates the performance of inhibitor screen testing, an interpretive comment will be provided noting the presence or absence of a factor XI inhibitor.
Occasionally, a potent lupus-like anticoagulant may cause false-positive testing for a specific factor inhibitor (eg, factor VIII or IX).
